          • Ep. 01 | How I Discovered the Wide World of Environmentalism

            Thank you so much for tuning in to the first episode of Seeking Sustainability! In this episode, I talk a bit about my backstory- particularly, how I went from a fashionista to a farmhand. As I discuss in this episode, there's no formula for being an advocate for the environment; our approach to environmentalism is unique to each of us. Hopefully, this podcast helps you navigate how to play role ing bettering this planet.
